I know you're being facetious, but the Hot Chick actually IS really funny.

Seriously man, my wife and I think its funny. It's extremely quotable. The premise is dumb, the way the girls act is dumb and it is a definitely dumb movie. But Schneider's lines are awesome.

"April! Remember in the 3rd grade your family moved here from Arkansas? *sob* And no one would talk to you because you talked funny? *sob* And your two front teeth were browwn???"

Schneider - "I should have had sex with you when I had the chance.."
Kid - "Father Mulcahe!?"

lol seriously man it's hilarious. It's not Three Amigos, Holy Grail level of comedy. No way. I wouldn't even put it in a top 10 or 15, but it's a funny movie.

Chris Rock isn't always great in movies, just saying. He was great on The Fresh Prince, okay in Beverly Hills Ninja, and so-so in everything else. And that Eugene Levy movie he was in...Ugh.

I should rewatch the third season myself, I think It wasn't as funny as the second season, but I might be wrong, I've seen S2 and S4 multiple times while I've watched seasons 1 and 3 only once. I do not plan on watching the first one again though :lol:

Yeah, I'm hyped about it. I always thought that British sitcoms and sketch comedies on average are a lot better than American ones after watching shows like Alas Smith And Jones, Bottom, Black Adder, Keeping Up Appearances, Red Dwarf, Monthy Python, and the first season of Little Britain but my God there were a lot of really horrible shows on the TV when I visited London back in 2008&2010. I think the fault is partially on the fact that many shows and movies I found funny back when I was 10-14 stopped being funny to me after I turned 16/17. Nevertheless I think that based on what I've seen, the quality of British comedy has dramatically decreased over the years when you compare modern shows with the ones from 1980s/early 1990s.
Yeah I kind of agree, I grew up watching BBC comedies like Bottom, Men Behaving Badly, Red Dwarf, The Day Today, The Royle Family, The Fast Show etc. and comparing them to what is on nowadays; Miranda, Not Going Out, My Family. They are so watered down and corny. And too safe. The two best shows of the last 5 years actually were Channel 4 productions, Peep Show and The Inbetweeners. In fact The Inbetweeners is being remade in America, which automatically means it is going to suck because the whole premise of The Inbetweeners is the language and culture of British teenage boys which is unique to the UK. I don't know many, if any American teenage boys (may be some on here!) but I imagine they don't talk like this.
